While the decision to bring Reid on board has raised questions about the network's strategic direction, it also highlights an ongoing trend in CNN's recent hiring patterns. Reid, along with other personalities who have recently joined CNN, are notable for having been let go from their previous positions due to poor ratings performances.
The list includes Reid, Tiffany Cross, and others, all of whom share a parallel history: they were fired from previous roles for failing to draw audiences. Critics question the rationale behind CNN’s hiring of figures associated with such failures, raising concerns about the network's capacity to recover from its current predicament.
